my pos cellphone camera gives it a lot more of a yellowish look then it really has..its more of a pale bronze type color..the card is also a metal card
and heres a picture of the serial numbering on the back kind of hard to see in the picture..again my pos camera
but it says "Limited Edition #2764" other then that printed on the bottom back of the card everything else is exact replica of the 1982 topps Ripken..no addition years on the card or anything

That's a Topps 98T 1982 rookie. Is it metal , cardboard or porcelain ?
Looks like it has rounded edges, which looks like it is probably not cardboard.
We're not allowed to give prices of cards. But if its something NOT in the data of the OPG we can guess

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

looks like one of the R & N porcelain cards from the 90s (or a bootleg of those)
I wouldn't expect more than $5-10 out of it tops (even then I'm honestly not sure since I can't 100% ID it) you were trying to sell it
someone else here may be able to identify exactly what it is

do you see any text on the top edge of the card on the back something like "issued by r&n with permission from topps blah blah"
if I had to put my money on what it was...that'd be it
